It may be necessary in the future to separate the 

 Australian species of Antholosca from the others in con- 

 sideration of the difference in the tarsal ungues and the 

 anterior tarsi of the female. In this case the name Antko- 

 hosca must be retained for the Australian species, and 

 Cosi/a used for the others. But as there are differences 

 of degree in these points, and only one or two species of 

 the genus have been paired so far, it is better to keep them 

 together for the present. In A. cli/jjeatus, Sm., the tarsal 

 unjjues are bifid. 



Antholosca lagardei, n. sp. 



$ . Antennce as long as the thorax without the median segment, 

 stout, the joints as broad as long. Eyes very broadly and slightly 

 emarginate on the inner margin. Head minutely and very closely 

 punctured, rounded ; the posterior ocelli half as far again from the 

 eyes as from each other. Thorax and median segment very finely 

 and closely punctured, the i)ronotum narrowed and slightly depressed 

 anteriorly, tlie niesonotum with two longitudinal sulcaj on each side, 

 the outer one narrow and shallow, the inner one deep ; the scutellum 

 subtriangular, truncate at the apex ; the median segment of about 

 the same length as the mesonotum. Abdomen as long as the head, 

 thorax and median segment combined, of nearly equal breadth 

 throughout, the first segment narrowed to the base, opaque ; the 

 hypopygium rounded at the apex and unarmed. 



Black; the posterior margin of tlie pronotum, a small transverse 

 spot on the posterior margin of the meaonotum, the tegulte, a spot on 

 the postscutellum, a spot at the apex of the median segment, a large 

 spot on each side of the epipygiura, the extreme apex of the anterior 

 and intermediate femora, the anterior tibia', the base of the inter- 

 mediate and posterior tibis, the first joint of all the tarsi ; the second 

 joint of the anterior and intermediate tarsi, and the three apical
